Carrying on from his hot fourth quarter against Latvia an evening previous, Federico Mussini picked up 22 points on 11-for-13 shooting from the field. Daniel Donzelli ended with 14 points whilst Pierfrancesco Oliva chipped in with 10.

Sergii Pryimak topped Ukrainian scoring with 22 points.

Italy now have the chance to advance to the quarter-finals undefeated when they take on Spain in their final group game on Wednesday. Ukraine face Croatia in a must-win game if they are to advance to the quarter-finals.
